Falling In Love With Elijah Mikaelson

Chapter 5

Its been 3 days since the party. I was lying on the couch while Jenna made breakfast. Jeremy got lucky, Vicki was staying the nights. Elena came down and Jenna talked to here about Stefan.

I got up and stretched before walking to the garage and getting changed into blue jean shorts and a tartan shirt with a white tank top underneath. I walked in with Elena and Bonnie and heard Caroline talking like nothing bad happened. Stefan walked over and me and Bonnie left the situation immediately.

I took a flyer from Caroline and said I'll help out before going to class. My outfit wasn't usually my style but the sun was out and shining, I had to do something other than wear a hoodie and burn.

After school I walked about the town, I didn't have anything to worry about. Damon couldn't kill me, Stefan wanted to protect Elena and I just wanted to relax. I went to the graveyard with flowers and cleaning products.

I went to my 'Auntie' and 'Uncle'. I placed the flowers down and started cleaning the gravestones. I wanted to keep them clean for Elena and Jeremy. I cleaned the gravestones until no dirt and mess was on it before planting the flowers and leaving.

I went home to see Elena go up the stairs quickly. I shrugged it off and went to the kitchen. I made burgers and sat them in the fridge with the lable 'Jeremy'. Before going to the garage, Jeremy and I let Stefan in without Elena hearing and he went to make food for her. So sweet!

I went into the garage and went to bed, I got changed into paint covered shorts and the same kind of tank top. I lied in bed and stared at the ceiling. Soon sleep took over and I had the same nightmare I always had, my mother dying.

I woke up at 5am, I checked my phone and seen a message from Coraline telling me what kind of vibe they were going for. Stripper. Lovely. I sent a message and told her I couldn't make it, I was feeling sick and woke up to puke. I placed my phone down before walking to the bathroom and looking at the medicine. I grabbed mine, it helped me cheer up every morning, I took some before walking to the kitchen.

I made breakfast and went to the couch and ate. I watched as the sky turned to day before getting up and going on a jog. When I came back I was finally tired. I went back to bed and slept without a dream.

I woke up and got changed. I wore black jeans with a white blouse and I put on a thin blazer before going to the car wash. I watched from a far, Caroline can't see me but Stefan did. He would sneak a look at me to make sure I was ok. I climbed into a tree and dangled off it with my legs.

I saw Elena leave with Jenna's new boyfriend, the news reporter and got down from the tree. I walked into the school and to an empty class room to practice my magic. I lifted things and put them back. It was nice to be free for once. I looked out the window and seen Bonnie staring at something before it ignites on fire.

I ran out and over to her, Stefan followed my actions. I shook her gently and she snapped out of it. The fire stopped and grabbed a hose and poured it over the car to make it seem like it was put out naturally. The car was still steaming as Bonnie left. I looked at Stefan and nodded. I placed the hose down before going after her.

"Bonnie?" I took her arm gently and smiled sweetly at her.

"Yeah?" She was scared and worried. I moved my hand to hers and gently gave it a squeeze.

"Magic is hard to control. But it gets easier if you control your emotions, trust me." It was time she found out the Bennett witches had a friend, the Crow witches.

"How do you..." She stepped away from me but I smiled sweetly before speaking.

"I'm Isabelle Crow, last member of the Crow witches, friend to the Bennett witches. The only help a crow can give is advice and energy nothing else, I'm sorry." I stepped away before running off back home.

Night fell and Elena left the house quickly. I stayed in and grabbed one of my books I kept hidden and read through it. Mum gave me the book, said it was a powerful grimoire, never to be held by another witch but a crow. I sat quietly on my bed and read alone, I heard the door open then slam so I got up amd put mt book away.

I walked into the house and up to Jeremy's room and knocked. I heard him play music so I walked in and went over to him. I hugged him tightly and felt him hug back. We sat in his room while he told me what happened before putting his headset on and listened to his music.

I went downstairs and heard Elena run in and she was panicking. I got up and went to her room to hear Stefan, he was telling her what he was... That won't end well. I went back downstairs before lying on the couch and falling asleep.

I woke up to Jeremy sitting by the couch and I had a blanket over me. I thanked him and sat up. I saw he had burgers on a plate and took my feet off the couch.

"Burgers for breakfast?" I giggled before getting up and going to the kitchen. He thanked me for being there for him last night. "Jer, that's what family is for. You seen Elena?"

"She went out. Uh a guy left a note for you last night, Damon?" I stopped and walked over as he handed me the note. I walked back to the kitchen to get some milk. I looked at the note and acted normal.

'You knew about him locking me away, you are next.'

I put the note in the bin after cutting it up into little pieces. I drank the milk and went to the garage to change. I wore rainbow leggings with a black top. I grabbed my phone and left the house after giving Jeremy a hug. I went to the Salvatore house and knocked.

"It's open!" I walked in and closed the foor before going to Damon. "Well, little cheerleader, what brings you over?" He was cheerful sounding.

"You know why Damon. The note. I'm next. What the hell!?" I was annoyed that is until I was held up against the wall. I saw Vicki on the couch, blood at her neck. "D-Damon..."

"You are going to die for allowing that to happen to me." Is eyes turned red, he was angry. I could feel tears coming to my eyes.

"You don't need to kill me." My voice was shaking, my ears turned to fins and I could feel scales growing on my dry skin.

"Oh but I d-" I didn't push him back but he flew into the wall. I fell and looked at him. "You are so dead!"

I got up and ran out the house. I ran home and hid my ears and skin. I pulled a blanket over my body and tried to calm down. He finally scared me, like he wanted.
